How do teachers get tenure?

Do you think that teachers should still get tenure?

  • Answer:

    Yes! I've been teaching for 21 years now, and the job gets worse each year. Not so much the children, but it's the administration at the schools and the board. All they think about is the schools test scores, and not the individual children. The teachers live in fear of their jobs, so they can't do the best jobs possible. Some of the tenured teachers might seem lazy to some younger people, but it's because of all of these changes that just have them so tired all of the time. They can't do the jobs that they used to do, because everything is keeping them from doing it. They want to be able to teach children until each child gets the concepts, but now, there's no time for such things. They want to let their children have a creative outlet in learning, but now, Art and Music is cut out of the program. For what they have to deal with, on a daily basis, and continually adjusting to new problems every year, the very least they can give them is tenure.

Yes- teachers should get tenure. Yes- there are good and bad teachers. Yes-some should be let go as in any other job. You can fire a teacher if she/he is not doing their job. Those of you who make negative comments towards teachers have never taught. You don't know how exhausting it is physically and mentally. A lot of jobs are tough but teachers seem to get the brunt of negativity from people. Teachers teach because they want to make a difference and help kids! For "Eyeonthescreen"- We teachers don't want to get paid for a full year if we don't work it. I like my summers off to spend with my kids. AND I do take college courses to further my skills. That is the ONLY way I get a pay raise. More schooling and years experience = more more $. I get only 2 paid days off (personal days) and never a bonus! My bonuses come from my students. I teach for them!!!!!!!

Yes.

No! I have a college professor that just got it last semester. She was the worst ever as far as making too many mistakes (foreign language class) and was very disorganized. We gave her horrible reviews...but she still snuck through.

I know a few teachers who have tenure and they're the laziest ones at my school. They're just there each year counting down the years, (months for one) until they can retire. They may have been a good / great / outstanding teacher once, but now they're doing a major disservice to the kids in their classes as they lag behind the students in the other classes.

Absolutely not. Many tenured teachers tend to go through the motions after they have received their tenure. I taught for 35 years and never requested tenure.

Yes, why not?

Yes ofcourse teachers should do their job not for simply earning money. Once a person's profession has become teaching he/she should be very dedicated and sincere in making a child learn in a more elaborate fashion than preparing a child for a 100 marks test.
